Today your mum sat you at your science workbench for your first experience of solid food (rice cereal). You were mildy interested, then opened your mouth and started chewing! You did good for your first time!!! Then you started asking for the ‘real’ food: your ba! Overall it was a fun experience, and your mum thinks you are definetly ready to have rice cereal progressively introduced to your diet. Any younger than your current age, and it could be a choking hazard (you wouldn’t have been ready to sit up then), and your tummy couldn’t handle the digestion yet. But you are ready now and really seem to enjoy it (sorta…).
